“No appeals board will rescue Everton” is how the national media responds to the Blues’ ongoing issues.

Everton suffered a significant setback with a home defeat to West Ham United, conceding crucial goals in stoppage time for the second consecutive week.

Despite thousands of empty seats at the final whistle, the match unfolded as a tale of missed chances and ongoing struggles.

Various national newspapers have analyzed the result and its implications.

Andy Hunter, writing for The Guardian, emphasizes that Everton cannot rely on appeals

or external factors to rescue them from their current predicament.

He highlights the team’s responsibility to improve their performances, expressing concern over the possibility of another challenging relegation battle.

Paul Joyce, in The Times, notes Everton’s recurring failure to seize control of their own fate despite other teams’ losses. He remarks on Beto’s momentary redemption with a goal but highlights the team’s

inability to secure a much-needed victory.

Chris Bascombe also touches on Everton’s missed opportunities and the predictability

of their approach in his coverage.

He praises Everton’s dedication but points out their lack of versatility in attacking strategies.

The sentiment is echoed in the ECHO’s match verdict, which laments Everton’s series of missed chances and emphasizes the need for accountability within the team.

The report underscores the urgency for Everton to seize control of their destiny and avoid

repeating past mistakes, or risk facing another season of disappointment.
